“The teams will be aiming to keep the tyres within the peak window of operating performance for as long as possible.

“Temperatures in Hungary can be very high, so the design of our latest tyres should help them to do this.”

Pirelli handed teams sets of the new tyres to use during the young driver test at Silverstone last week. And the Italian firm are confident they will stand up to the searing heat, providing teams figure out how to get the best out of the new tyres.

Lewis Hamilton missed the test as his Mercedes team were serving their ban as punishment for their illegal tyre test.

Meanwhile, while McLaren opted to use their test drivers instead of their racing pairing of Jenson Button and Sergio Perez.

Hembery added: “These tyres were tried out by the teams at Silverstone during the young driver test, who benefited from the opportunity to adapt the set-up of their cars to best suit the new tyres.

“Now they get to use them in competition for the first time, and with qualifying particularly important at the Hungaroring, the work done in free practice will be very important.”

Meanwhile, Red Bull claim they have reached a deal to resurrect the Austrian Grand Prix for next season.

The Austrian-owned drinks company, who also own the F1 team, released a statement saying the race would be held at the Red Bull Ring, formerly the A1 Ring.

A statement read: “Dietrich Mateschitz and Bernie Ecclestone have reached an agreement to the effect that Formula One will return to Styria next year.”

Red Bull owner Mateschitz failed in an attempt to host an Austrian GP this season when the New Jersey race was dropped from the calendar.
